Start from the image that is failing the decision.
A client may already have a processed volume, PSDM or legacy migration. The first question is not “which algorithm can we sell?” It is “why is the current image not answering the geological question?”

Typical questions
What exactly is wrong with the image?
Is the problem positioning, focusing, illumination or bandwidth?
Are velocity-model errors dominating the result?
Are coherent noise or multiples masking the target?
Is the migration method mismatched to the structural complexity?
Is the image fundamentally limited by acquisition illumination?
Can enhancement improve clarity, or would that only hide a deeper imaging problem?
